Asking MIT Students How They Got Into MIT | GPA, SAT/ACT, Clubs, etc. 

My son graduated from MIT on May 25, 2022, is in mathematics and computer science degrees,and is about to graduate with master degree in computer science.Thanks MIT.Good luck to all future applicants!God bless!

dude, the guy that said he applied because of spiderman is literally me

Hi! you really helped me :) because after finishing sophomore year with two b's I just lost all hope and MIT has been my dream for a long time, but once I watched your video, it helped me really believe in myself and really has made me believe that not only as a student but as a person that I can get into MIT. Thanks so much for making us believe in ourselves because sometimes we all lose hope but we all need it regained and you did just that! :D

MIT, more than most colleges in the US, has to be a good fit to be worth it. As hard as it is to get in, it is harder to get out. It mainly works because the students who do get in continue to develop their academic maturity year by year.

My dream school! I feel like with my stats I can get in, but I'm scared that I don't really know how to project my own personality into my application...

I'm not sure why, but you just came into my feed like a ray of hope into the darkness! I was literally giving up on even applying to MIT. But watching you made me feel comfortable for some reason. The chaos of uncertainty died down a bit, and now I feel like I'd be happier to atleast try

Let me summarize the entire video for you: If you got more than 1 B throughout the entirety of highschool, don't bother applying. If you got below a 1500 on the SAT, don't bother applying. If you didn't do tons of extra curricular activities, don't bother applying. It's the type of school for people who had their entire lives planned out already when they were in middleschool.

The dream of mine is to attend MIT, but I will be able to pursue my research in technology as an online student. Furthermore, MIT offers a wide range of scholarships.

wtf this isn't even fair, its not even close. i take the a-level system and when he really said he got 10 9's in GCSE and 4 A*s, my heart dropped; im completely outclassed

thank you!!!! I've been waiting for this video. Also, your videos are incredible. I do enjoy them quite a lot

They took 4.0 in MIT, they're not individuals 👽

I just love the way he smiles🤣

To future MIT students, if you have low/avaerage GPA, then focused on essays, ecs (focused on main aim only), and test scores. I have got into MIT, and here's my stats : • GPA : 3.1 (i failed chemistry the first semester and barely passed Maths every semester, but my strength are Biology and Physics) • SAT : 1590 (Maths : 800, Reading&Writing : 790) • ACT : 36 • IB - HL Mathematics - HL Chemistry - HL English literature - HL Biology • APs - Calculus AB : 5 - Physics 1 : 5 - Biology : 5 - Chemistry : 4 - English : 5 - Research : 5 - Psychology : 4 • Essay : Very strong • Letter of recommendations : mediocre, very strong • Ecs - Science olympiad (gold medal) : x1 - Maths olympiad x3 (bronze, merit x1, semi-finalist x1) - Englsigh olympiad (gold, national finalist) - Reasearch on ADHD development and Cancer research x2 (virtual and in-peeson) - National Public Speaker (Gold) x1 - medical insternships x2 (virtual & in-person) - Health volunteer x2 - National Sport event volunteer x1 - Biology tutoring - Co-founder of a well-known café - Leader of a charity donation campaign

Thanks a lot for the video. Very insightful. Thanks again

Bro your quality improving with every video, keep going!

Superb editing ❤✨

Who's the green jacket boy in the last interview?! you are completely nice, good... nearly perfect. I believe you will be impactful person! wish you good day~

he stops yapping at 7:03 btw

Shout out to the Baton Rouge girl! I was c/o 2012 MIT and also did MAO back in LA. This brings back memories.

shoulda asked their majors

Ima need to have some more info on how my fellow Brit got accepted. I'm only in year 10 right now, however my heart is set on this school. I'm worried I won't have enough awards and competition victories by the end of it xD

I love your positive energy sm

Hii, that's amazing video!! Plss make one for Brown university🥺🙌

can u interview international students, their credentials and what do they do to get a a spot there?

Love your videos. Will you do other super good colleges?

great share! i would like to seek your help as i want to get admission in MIT in masters in IT field directly with some pre requisites while having OBU GRADUTION DEGREE in applied accounting .. can you tell what will worth more graduation by MIT or masters?

I wish we had a lot of sports and clubs within high schools in my country. That would make school more fun.

Im in junior year rn and im in Canada. In grade 9 i got a lot of 70s and 80s and in grade 10 it was better but still just 80s. In g11 second semester, I have over 95 in every subject except IB ENglish which is a 90. I want to go to a good university like MIT but my gpa is really on the lower end because of my fuckups from freshman and sophomore. idk if this is going to bring my application chances lower. It's dumb that even your past grades can affect your uni chances. It's really discouraging but I heard they weigh your g11 and g12 grades more plus look at the bigger picture and see how youve improved. Idk i felt like commenting this cause one of the guys mentioned he had ONE B in freshman when i have like 5

Dude is not glowing, he's FLAMINGGGGG....

Thanks for the video its awesome 😄 can you please make a video on ap preparation and how to score perfect in it

now i can transfer to MIT!

Can you image the previous Dean has a scandal? Marilee Jones, then dean of admissions at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, resigned after the university confirmed that she had claimed academic degrees she never earned. She had claimed at various points to hold degrees from Albany Medical College, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Union College -- she didn't hold degrees from any of those colleges. what a shame on MIT! And how dare Marilee Jones!

I'm a 16-year-old highschooler, Last year my team made it to the VEX robotics World championship, which in itself is an outstanding achievement. Right now, I have 6.5 years of experience in the programming field (I started when I was 8-9yo) and I work with the head programmer in the mechatronic engineering club at my school. When I get a job soon, I am going to invest some of my money into building my own robotics and upload it to different social platforms and try to gain some traction to have MIT aware of my presents. Fortunately, I do all of the things that aligns with MIT's mission Aswell. Do you have any more advice I could use to make my resume stand out from the majority of people? Help would be appreciated, thank you!

Is it possible to waive your TOEFL as an international student

You don't need to jump to different people every 2sec. For intro it's ok

very soon that will be me and everyone that wants to go to this school

Great video, how about you do universities where student get fully funded?. Is it possible?, And how did they got in?.

I love everything engineering and have a lot of projects to back me up, I’m a sophomore in high school and currently sitting with a 3.4 gpa unweighted. trying to turn my grades around for junior and senior year but i’m starting to feel like my goals are unachievable :(

I didn’t go to harvard or mit but I knew a kid that went to mit that made kick ass acid. But yeah don’t believe the hype. Idk if it’s because I grew up in these neighborhoods but it is what it is. I do want my daughter to go to mit or harvard though, she just entered high school. Would like her to take a different path in life than myself.

Computer science costs yearly 148k dollars now in MIT. I'm concerned that ıs MIT good because of the quality education system or all that money help the school to afford for opportinities that are given to students.

ONE Black woman, and one British Black man who may even identify himself differently since his parents are likely products of immigrants if not immigrants themselves. I may be suggesting something with the purpose of this comment but I won’t state it because I’m sure some would scorn me for sharing my personal opinion.

You should do a MIT indoor tour

Thank you this helpful video, now I know that being in clubs like the color blind club and homies for homos will boost my chances!!

Dawg I’m not getting in stop putting this on my recommended 💀💀💀

would you be able to do a "ivey league" of canada video?

If you ever go to North Caroline, can you go to UNCP?

@Ashton: have you thought about taking your roadshow international and visit leading UK universities ❤?

I know 5 people that went ivy league. One is playing semipro basketball, one became a female wrestler, one served 5 years in a federal pen because he thought he was smarter than everyone else, one complained because with travel time and expenses she was making barely above minimum wage and the other hated the job ( optometist ) she trained for...........

Good job buddy, thanks

For me open the door and head to the bookstore and buy a T-shirt. Love MIT.

Jesus I only have a 3.5 GPA do I have a chance

In my opinion I feel that your grades doesn't define your intelligence at all you could be an intelligent kid but just not a hard worker when it comes to school

im an international student from an under developing country, so can you do a vid abt stats and ecs that got international students in to MIT.

ah so im fucked since im mid way through highschool and i have a zero perecent chance into getting into my dream school because of my past grades i cant change now

Well im not gettin into this school. Does anyone know alternatives to this school, I'm interested in engineering but specifically aerospace engineering.

My son had a near perfect SAT score, with no math questions wrong and a 4.0 GPA. He had an interview but didn't get in. He didn't satisfy a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion quota. Total B.S.

ok, its impossible to get in. I wanted to get in for masters :(

😮Awesome Man.

What’s the dudes name that converted gas cars to EV? That’s nuts

Do a video for Stanford!

i feel like giving up, i have the stats outside of the SAT, i fked it up, i wanna give up man

must have missed extracurriculars, i just found them boring. I got rejected this last admission cycle even with a 4.0.

@5:07 is MIT number2 or 1?

Want more of this

Great!

Is getting into MIt as easy for the international students as it is for American citizens.

Guy at 4:12, can you tell me his name

Why anyone's Being, in that body, would want to go to M.I.T. is way beyond me. Either your built for something extremely rare or I don't even want to know. Being. On Being.

I'm gonna cry😢

Skin color or anti-Semitism. For a real education… Georgia Tech 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I'm never getting in.

TOO Smart

Dream life, dream school i m so open to CS but not interested in math, how can i manage with that? I want to get into mit class of 28 but how? Is math the important part of MIT?

I only heard many chinese got into top schools by paying big donations

My son-in-law wants our grandson to study close to home in Scotland "St Andrews College" (no 2 after Oxford), our grandson wants to either Oxford or Harvard, but my secret dream is for him to be able to study at MIT. Will my dream come true ?
